My boat. The engine is an Olympia, manufactured in Vaasa, Finland, in the thirties. It's a single cylinder, sidevalve, four stroke, with 75mm bore and 110mm stroke. Peak power is at about 1000 rpm. The flywheel is very heavy. It has a handle which is used for crank starting. When the engine is running, the handle can be folded into a slot in the flywheel, by placing a shoe, or similar, close to the flywheel.
I have taken the engine completely apart to restore it. Spare parts are hard/impossible to find these days. So you have to make them yourself, or be creative with using parts from different engines. After a lot of searching, I found a piston with about the same dimensions as the stock piston. It's from a four cylinder Fiat from the seventies. The diameter is a few mm larger than stock, so the cylinder has been bored/honed to the right piston clearance. The piston top has been milled a few mm to get the right height/compression ratio. (About 6:1 in these engines). The connecting rod bronze bearing has been replaced and honed to fit the new piston pin. Shims in the crankshaft bearings has been changed to get the right bearing clearance. After the restoration, the engine is mechanically almost silent, and runs really smooth.
In the video, the engine stops just as I'm about to put it in gear, simply because I forgot to turn on the fuel valve...=)

This engine doesnt nesseserily need the drip oiler. Its only purpose is to add oli to crankcase when its beeing burned away. When people use the oiler too much the oil level will start to rise.

She’s not pretty, she’s not comfortable, she’s not fast. But she is a perfect timeless old chugger. A good sounding slow turning one Luger. Just right for a putt around the bay. I bet it’s a very satisfying ride, especially with that old motor you’ve kept alive by shear grit and determination. She is a nicely easy driven boat. Moves nicely through the water and looks to be a pretty solid little boat. It was interesting to watch your start routine, and I was surprised at how easy it started! What do you use for a transmission and do you have forward and reverse? Does that little engine make enough heat to take the chill off while your cruising?

Will the boat remain straight if you release the rudder?
@bjornnyman6891
@bjornnyman6891 5 жыл бұрын
No if I release the rudder the boat will turn to starboard because of spin of the propeller. But by leaning the boat to starboard, I am able to balance that force. So that's what I'm doing in the video when I'm walking to the middle of the boat. I think this effect happens because the tiller is long and heavy, so when I'm leaning to starboard, gravity pulls the tiller to starboard, which creates enough force to keep her straight. =)

What size is your prop and what pitch is it , that would really help me out as I am building a boat similar to yours out of steel
@bjornnyman6891
@bjornnyman6891 6 жыл бұрын
My propeller is not the right size I think. It easily starts to slip/cavitate a lot, which means it spins freely, and isn't producing any drive. Then I must release the throttle, and apply it carefully again when the prop grips. This usually happens at less than half throttle, so I have never used more than that. I usually run it at 1/4 throttle, which is enough to reach hullspeed (about 4.5 knots). Prop is 13.5 inches diameter and 9.5 inches pitch.

@@bjornnyman6891 Yes, open the metal plate on top on the gear. Then when inspecting the gear drum there is one bolt that needs to be losened. Then turn the gear to tighten the clutch pack. Just a little adjustmeant is nessassary. If you tighten the gearpack too much its really hard to put it in gear, and it could be damaged.

My prop is 13” dia. 11 1/2” pitch. It is three blade. It is supposed to be for a full displacement hull, And the hull is 21 feet with a 20 hp gasoline engine. The parameters I gave the prop what is for a21 ft Full displacement hull, With a hull speed of 12 kn for cruising and a 2 1/2 to 1 reduction from the motor. The weight of the hull is 1600 pounds, or 1600 pounds displacement. I making a very similar to your boat on KZfaq and it will be made out of steel. I will let you know when I launch the KZfaq channel. The name of the company that made this product is acme. I just happen to find it at a swap meet for $30. When I called up the company to see what it was for they asked me what it was going on and I told them and it just happened to be the right one.

I have translated your question, since I'm native Swedish, so I don't know the Finnish language. (But I have my boat and some family in Finland). The dimension on my propeller might be wrong. See my other answer from today about slip/cavitation. Dimensions are 13.5 inches diameter, 9.5 inches pitch. Do you have a similar boat? whats the dimensions of your propeller?

Are you sure that's not a Chrysler boat motor mine would do the same thing as soon as you would push off it would stall out
@bjornnyman6891
@bjornnyman6891 4 жыл бұрын
=) not a Chrysler! It stopped that time just because I forgot to turn on the fuel valve =) I can't say it's the most reliable engine at low revs, but I'm usually able to keep it running. It often needs some adjustments on the fuel mix knob depending on temperature of the engine and engine speed/load and so on. So if I have leaned it out when out to sea to prevent soot/carbon buildup, I usually have to set it a bit richer to prevent it from stalling when slowing down near the dock. Another thing is the valve for the water cooling of the exhausts. If I leave the water valve open at low revs it will eventually push water into the cylinder and stall the engine due to a drop of water bridging the spark plug gap. =)
